Here are a series of Bath covers that failed to get delivered. The first two, from 1884, have manuscript "Gone no address" on the front and 1-22 postman initials on the reverse. ["Postman" rather than "Letter Carrier" because it's after the introduction of a parcels service in 1883]
The next cover from 1896 has a framed "Not to be found / 53" cachet, ....
The final cover was delivered in 1935, but not by airmail, and has a large framed cachet to say that it was insufficiently addressed for transmission by air mail, but presumably OK to go by surface mail.
